Song of Solomon 1:13
bundle of myrrh—abundant preciousness (Greek), (I Peter 2:7). Even a little myrrh was costly; much more a bundle (Colossians 2:9). BURROWES takes it of a scent-box filled with liquid myrrh; the liquid obtained by incision gave the tree its chief value.
he—rather, "it"; it is the myrrh that lies in the bosom, as the cluster of camphire is in the vineyards (Song of Solomon 1:14).
